Determining a storage system name from its Lenovo Storage V series name by using the CLI

You can determine a storage system name from its Lenovo Storage V series name by using the command-line interface (CLI).

1. Issue the following CLI command to list the storage system:

   lscontroller
2. Record the name or identification for the storage system that you want to determine.
3. Issue the following CLI command:

   lscontroller controllername/identification

   where controllername/identification is the name or identification that you recorded in step 2.
4. For FC and FCOE controllers, record the worldwide node name (WWNN) for the device. The WWNN can be used to determine the actual storage system. Use the WWNN to launch the native user interface or use the command-line tools that it provides to verify the actual storage system that has this WWNN.
5. For iSCSI controllers, refer to the iscsi_port_id and ip fields in the output of lscontroller. Since the controller can have multiple Internet Protocol addresses (IPs), there are multiple iscsi_port_id and ip listings for an iSCSI controller. The ip field shows the IPv4/IPv6 address for the iSCSI controller and is blank for other controllers. The iscsi_port_id refers to a row id in the output of lsiscsistorageport command. The lsiscsistorageportiscsi_port_id will list the IQN of the target iSCSI controller in the target_iscsiname output field. Use the IPs and IQN gathered to determine the actual storage system. Launch the native user interface or use the command-line tools the storage system provides to verify the actual storage system that has the IPs and IQN found.
